Abstract

<p>One of the critical roles of pharmacists is to avoid incidents related to adverse effects of drugs. Third-year students observed the adverse effects of propranolol using a PC installed with instructor soft-ware for the high-performance patient simulator, SimMan 3G. They administered propranolol on the PC to SimMan 3G, which was in a state of asthmatic attack (medium grade), and then monitored cardiac and respiratory parameters. We assessed their scores they obtained pre-test and post-test, and additionally analyzed the reports of the performance. Their scores of post-test were significantly higher than the pre-test scores. Sixty-eight percent of them said that propranolol was contraindicated for asthmatic attack, or that asthmatic attack was aggravated by propranolol. Forty percent of them correctly described the hypotensive mechanisms of propranolol based on their observations. The present report demonstrated that the instructor software for SimMan 3G is a good tool for learning about adverse effects of beta-blockers in a large class.</p>
